Laughter Yoga & Business
Due to the global competition and the rapid change in technology today, members of the business community are facing enormous stress in the workplace. There have been many methods suggested to reduce stress, but “laughter” as a group therapy has been discovered to be the most economical, less time consuming and highly effective way to deal with stress.
The innovative concept of laughing in a group without any apparent reason is pioneered by Dr Kataria, a physician fromMumbai, India. The uniqueness of this idea is that anyone can laugh in a group without relying on sense of humor , jokes or comedies. This particular method has now been accepted all over the world and Dr Kataria has established more than 5000laughter clubs in 50 countries including India, USA, Australia, Canada, U.K. all over Europe, Singapore, Malaysia and now in the U.A.E.
About 10 -15 minutes of a laughing session everyday has helped many companies to reduce stress, improve the work environment and interpersonal relationships. It has also been observed that communication skills are enhanced and productivity definitely increases with the boosted energy levels.
